Menís Golfer of the Week Ė No. 6

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tennessee Wesleyan’s Michael Alread has been named the NAIA National Men’s Golfer of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Alread was selected based on his performances from April 16 – 22 and was chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated group golfer of the week selections. The honor is the first such award for Tennessee Wesleyan men’s golf since it began in 2011.

Alread shot a 66-73-70 – 209 in the three-round Appalachian Athletic Conference Tournament April 16 – 17 to take medalist honors for the second-straight season at the event. Alread’s performance allowed the Bulldogs to capture the league team title (284-284-284 – 852) and an automatic berth in the 2012 NAIA Men’s Golf National Championship in Salem, Ore., May 22 – 25. Alread narrowly held off Reinhardt’s (Ga.) Zach Lindsey, who carded a three-round 210, for medalist honors.
